Welcome to the Smart Map In Python Tutorial Series. In the previous tutorial we were installing some essential tools for python development, and we installed python3-venv, which allowed us to create our virtual environment.
We then created a project folder for our tutorials on our desktop, and within our desktop we created our virtual environment. And within our virtual environment we installed django-toolbelt which is Python Django bundled with some essential external dependencies that will help us in our Django development.
In this tutorial we will be downloading and installing the IDE that we will be developing our application in. The IDE that we will be installing is called ATOM. After installing ATOM we will download some external packages that we will need for developing our application.
